Subject: Review of CAP Issue #8
ISSUE: 8 - Suggestions for improvements in the normative references DESCRIPTION: The commenter makes several recommendations for improving the Normative References section of the specification. PROPOSED CHANGE: The commenter makes the following suggestions: 1) A reference to the XML 1.0 specification should be provided in section 1.6 "Normative References." 2) There should also be normative references to ISO 8601, RFC3066, FIPS Publication 180-1, WGS-84 and the other references mentioned below: 3) The CAP specification refers to RFC1766 when defining the language element. However, RFC1766 is obsolete. It was replaced by RFC3066 and RFC3282. 4) The definition of the mimeType element refers to RFC1521. However, this RFC is also obsolete. According to the IETF, it was obsoleted by RFC2045, RFC2046, RFC2047, RFC2048, RFC2049 and updated by RFC1590. 5) The specification refers to "namespaces" although namespaces are not defined in XML 1.0. DISCUSSION: Suggestions 1 and 5, above, depend on the resolution of item 22 as to whether we cast the CAP specification in terms of XML 1.0 or 1.1. The other three suggestions to expand and update the Normative References section seem appropriate and would appear to have no substantial impact on existing implementations. RECOMMENDATION: Make the edits per suggestions 2-4 above. Act on suggestions 1 and 5 in accordance with the eventual resolution of issue 22.
